The Great Barrier of Reef that stole my heart.
I couldn’t decide about my next Australian destination. When I met Karen, whom I told you about on another post, she told me her experience in the Whitsundays & that helped me make up my mind! I had never been that close to the Great Barrier of Reef & wanted to see the biggest reef […]
Queensland. The Sunshine Coast & the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.
Brisbane is in the Moreton Bay protected by an island of the same name but if you drive north, you’ll find the wild beaches of the Sunshine Coast. There we headed to with our vizslas, to walk & play on Peregian beach, virgin, wild, & with big waves, definitely stunning. We saw giant jellyfish, although the ones we really […]
Brisbane, the tropical Australia.
Here I am, still in my beloved Australia. This time in Brisbane, an hour on a plane north of Sydney where I arrived in a very hot summer day. My friend James came to give me a hug while I was disembarking before leaving to catch his flight & Andrew picked me up at arrivals, it was so […]
NOLA, New Orleans, Louisiana.
As promised I am back to continue telling you about my first experience in this city, the most populated in the state of Louisiana, south of the US. You’ll observe if you visit it that the use the acronym NOLA, linking the name of the city ,New Orleans & the name of the state, Louisiana. After a […]
New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz.
I arrived to New Orleans just before carnival, the celebrations of their famous Mardi Gras festival had already started. I got up early and decided to go for a walk, to see what I’d find at those early hours. I went to Canal Street with St. Peters where the Rock `n` Roll maratón was taking place, […]
The ways to Rome take us to the Vatican.
Rome doesn’t fit in one post, so here it is another one where I start asking you, what state do we find inside this beautiful city? Yes, the Vatican, keeper of so much art which would leave anyone dazzling & fascinated. In our visit, my mom & I decided to take the bus from Termini […]
A road trip into the Aussie bush.
It was raining, Helene and I decided to take the car & go on a road trip. We headed towards Peats Bridge, where we stopped to buy some local fruit and veggies. On the side of road there was an “honesty box”, I had never seen one before, then I heard they also have them […]
Beaches, harbours & gardens in Sydney.
It’s summer in Sydney, enjoying its beaches is mandatory. The Tasman Sea bathes the Sydney bay. One of its northern beaches is Balmoral Beach, the first one I visited. I decided to go by bus. I took the B1 from Milson Point station to Mosman, which was only two more stops away to Balmoral. It is a family beach, […]
The Blue Mountains. Australia.
My plan for today is hiking the beautiful Blue Mountains. I have decided to take the train, it’s more romantic & also a lower-cost option. This is how another wonderful day in Sydney was starting. Equipped with my hat, comfy clothing & shoes, a rucksack with plenty of water & some snacks, I headed off […]
May Gibbs home in Sydney.
This morning I woke up with the idea of going to the beach. I got distracted talking to Helene, the charming host of the house in Sydney where I was living. Our topic of conversation was books, surprised, right? Now you can understand why I spent the morning with her. She told me about May Gibbs, a writer […]
